A gutter can be a place in the street
Or a dark lonely place in your mind
I'm here to tell you it's a living hell
I know 'cause I've been there so many times
I've tossed and I turned as the memories burn
With the fire only whiskey puts out
But I don't need a bottle to sleep like a baby now
I may miss those pink elephants
They were cute little critters
But I'll always hate spiders and snakes
My friends they might laugh and call me a quiter
But my knees don't quiver and my hands don't shake
I just wish that my mama could see me right now
Lord knows that she'll be so proud
'Cause I don't need a bottle to sleep like a baby now
ย
Some pain is so deep the scars never heal
And the heart just lays down to die
But she took my hand and helped me to stand
And showed me how love brings the dead back to life
In her arms I'd dream and it's all I've ever seen
And she crowns old memories out
And I don't need a bottle to sleep like a baby now
I may miss those pink elephants
They were cute little critters
But I'll always hate spiders and snakes
My friends they might laugh and call me a quiter
But my knees don't quiver and my hands don't shake
I just wish that mama could see me right now
Lord knows that she'll be so proud
'Cause I don't need a bottle to sleep like a baby now
